Vaal Race 1 - 4Racing Welcomes You Work Riders Maiden Plate

ALAKANANI (4) was not disgraced against winners over 2000m on the Classic course last time. He is back in maiden grade and looks well placed to return to form. BRIGHAM (1) was doing his best work late when finishing a close-up fourth of 10 over 1600m last time. Rates well as an each-way chance. ART NOUVEAU (7) is better than her last start run would suggest as she was reported to be not striding out. She finished third in her only attempt over this distance. Phelisile Mongqawa is booked to ride and she should give the males a decent run for their money. ROYAL MIRACLE (2) is better than his last start run for fifth looks on paper. If finding the form of his penultimate run when finishing second can finish in the placings.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 10 at this track on April 29 over 1600m, 7 len behind Sky Pillar Rock carrying 60kg at $4.50. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on March 25 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind War Reporter carrying 60kg at $2.80. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Returns from a 61-day let-up. Last start ran last of 9 at Turffontein Standside on March 29 over 1600m, 99 len behind Whispering Death carrying 54.5kg at $126. The race before that second last of 7 at Turffontein Inside on March 13 over 1450m, 16 len behind Whispering Death carrying 60kg at $101. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
